The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

As an outsider, Xie Liuzheng shouldn't get too involved in the Feng family's affairs, and shouldn't even be present at the scene. But no one asked her to leave, and she couldn't say goodbye at this time, so she could only stand in the corner and try to reduce her presence.

?

Noticing that the old lady looked unhappy, Xie Liuzheng was worried that the old lady would get angry and something bad would happen to her, so she had to secretly pull the first lady's clothes to remind her not to let the second lady continue to make trouble like this.

?

The first lady finally came to her senses and hurried to stop the second lady, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely. If you make a scene like this, the servants will hear and laugh at you."

?

The Second Lady was like a mad dog at this time. She would bite anyone who paid attention to her. When she heard the First Lady trying to dissuade her from making a noise, she immediately turned her anger towards the First Lady.

?

"Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me. You have taken all the benefits, so you can talk without any pain. Old woman, you are using great principles to suppress me just because I gave a few taels of silver to my parents. Why don't you say that you didn't even have a dowry when you married me?"

?

"Those few buckets of offspring and torn quilts were given to you by the old woman privately to save your reputation, right?"

?

"Don't think anyone doesn't know about your ugly deeds. Why does the old woman favor you so much? It's because of you and Feng Laoer..."

?

"Shut up!" The old lady was so angry that her face turned blue and her whole body was shaking. She slapped the bedside hard. "You are all dead. You let him talk nonsense in front of me. Why don't you shut her mouth and take her back to her room?"

?

The Second Master Feng then came back to life as if awakened from a dream, and went forward to cover the Second Madam's mouth with all his might. The Second Madam knew that she would have no good days from now on, so she struggled desperately and left several bloody marks on the back of the Second Master's hand. The Second Master could hardly restrain her, and finally called his servants to tie her up, stuffed her into a sedan chair, and sent her back to her room and locked her up.

?

The old lady's face had already turned pale, and she was holding her chest and gasping for breath. Mr. Pei rushed forward to give her an injection, and it took a while to revive her.

?

The old lady was already poisoned in her twilight years, and after this big commotion, she woke up with a weak breath, breathing in more than out, which was an ominous sign.

?

Xie Liuzheng asked Mr. Pei in a low voice, "Is the old lady's condition serious?"

?

Mr. Pei hesitated for a moment and held up three fingers. "I'll try my best, but I'm only 30% sure."

?

That would be a very bad situation.

?

Xie Liuzheng could see the old lady's joy and anger in her eyes. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and begged Mr. Pei in a low voice, "Please do your best to save me. I will never forget your kindness."

?

"Miss, you don't have to be so polite. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not hide anything. But..." Mr. Pei looked at Xie Liuzheng worriedly, "There is something I shouldn't have said. The human heart is the most difficult thing to understand in this world. It's probably not a good thing for Miss to get too involved in some things."

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled bitterly, "I understand that you are doing this for my own good, but there are things I have to do."

?

There are too few people in this world who truly treat her. It is rare that the old lady neither despises her identity as a merchant's daughter nor has any greed for the Xie family. She truly treats her as a junior. This is a very rare fate.

?

The ancients said that a gentleman would die for his confidant. Since she couldn't die for the old lady, she would do her best to save her life, and she was willing to take some risks.

?

Mr. Pei understood Xie Liuzheng's persistence, and seeing that she was determined, he stopped trying to dissuade her. "I'll try my best. Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with herbal medicine, I hope it will be effective."

?

Xie Liuzheng turned to look at the old lady with great worry, "This is the only way, sir, please forgive me."

?

After the old lady fell asleep, the master and his wife invited Mr. Pei and Xie Liuzheng to the main hall for tea.

?

The master handed the 100 taels of silver to Mr. Pei with both hands, "Thank you for your help, otherwise..."

?

Five taels of silver would have been enough to pay for the eldest lady's carriage, but the eldest master gave her a hundred taels of silver, obviously hoping that Mr. Pei would not spread the news of the Feng family.

?

Mr. Pei has served hundreds of thousands of people in the palace, but he doesn't even understand the ways of the world. I'm afraid he won't live that long.

?

He lowered his eyes to glance at the banknote and put it into his sleeve.

?

The master heaved a sigh of relief and said earnestly, "Sir, you are a great doctor. Please take the trouble to treat my mother."

?

Mr. Pei naturally would not refuse for Xie Liuzheng's sake, and agreed after a few humble words.

?

The eldest master also suggested that Mr. Pei temporarily live in the Feng Mansion.

?

The old lady's condition might require emergency treatment at any time, so it was common sense to ask the doctor to stay, and Mr. Pei did not refuse.

?

The master thanked him profusely again and immediately ordered the servants to prepare a guest room for Mr. Pei.

?

After finishing the business, it was almost time for lunch. The master invited Mr. Pei to the dining hall to accompany him in person, and the mistress also took Xie Liuzheng back to her room to eat.

?

The eldest lady was already in poor health, and after all this ordeal, she was exhausted both mentally and physically. She ordered people to bring two sedan chairs, and she and Xie Liuzheng sat in them one after the other.

?

The eldest master was supposed to live in the main courtyard, but because the eldest lady had been in poor health for many years and needed rest, the household affairs had to be handed over to the second lady. The eldest master took the initiative to give up the main courtyard and marked out an area in the back garden to build a courtyard with good scenery. It was close to the old lady's Songhe Courtyard and there was a small door leading directly to the outside of the mansion, making it very convenient for the eldest master to enter and exit.

?

Xie Liuzheng looked on in confusion.

?

The first lady is unable to manage the household chores, but the first master, as the eldest son, has to shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the family. However, in order to make it easier for the first lady to recuperate, he gave up the main courtyard that represents the status of the head of the family. This is not normal no matter how you think about it.

?

Is it true that there are infatuated men in the world who regard their wives as treasures? If so, it is rare.

?

In just a moment, the sedan chair had stopped in front of the eldest lady's room. The eldest lady took Xie Liuzheng's hand and led her into the room. The maid brought her two bowls of white fungus soup.

?

The eldest lady smiled bitterly and said, "I have been taking medicine for many years and cannot drink medicine. I can only use these things to entertain guests. I don't know if you are used to eating them."

?

Xie Liuzheng took a sip with a smile, "Walking under the hot sun like this, drinking Tremella soup is quite comfortable."

?

The eldest lady had something on her mind, so she exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business. "You are my own child, so I won't say those empty words to you. Today's matter concerns the reputation of the Feng family. If it gets out, I'm afraid even the imperial concubine will be implicated."

?

"Yes, Liu Zheng understands." Xie Liu Zheng didn't need the eldest lady to say more, and stood up to assure, "Liu Zheng only came to visit the old lady, and knows nothing else."

?

The eldest lady pulled her to sit down again with a look of relief on her face, "I know you are a sensible child, it's just a waste of words."

?

"Alas, it is a misfortune for our family to have such an incident happen. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough to help."

?

Xie Liuzheng wanted to ask Mr. Pei to take the pulse of the old lady and prescribe a prescription for her when he was free. However, the old lady was ill and the old lady probably didn't have the heart to do so, so she didn't mention it.
